The Seine near the Austerlitz Bridge is a 1888 ink by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, depicting Seine, held at National Gallery of Art.
Auguste Lepère shows the Seine in 1888. A narrow wooden bridge cuts the river in half. Trees line both banks in soft summer green. He carved this image on wood, then printed it on thin paper. The lines are crisp and cross-hatched. That means lots of tiny lines make shadows and textures. The view feels quiet and real. It’s not fancy or busy. If you like this, look up Lepère, Auguste.
Louis-Auguste Lepère (30 November 1849 – 20 November 1918) was a French painter and etcher. Lepère is also considered a leader in the creative revival of wood engraving in Europe.
